The new Pollster.com interactive flash polling graphs are really cool. Finally you can trim the fat all you want and see a custom trendline based on the polls that you trust. For example, here’s an national aggregate I just put together that makes the following changes to the standard Pollster national trendline graph that I’ve featured here in the past :

1) It only includes live person polls, not robocalls or internet polls.
2) The upper and lower ranges have been changed to 60% and 30%.
3) It only shows polls conducted since June 1st.
4) It draws a “Less Sensitive” trendline, which gives a better overall sense of the momentum of the race rather than reflect every little polling blip.

Neeedless to say, these changes (which I made without any regard to how it would affect the numbers) give a much more comforting picture of the race as a whole :

That said, making these same changes on the state-level maps doesn’t yield the same pro-Obama trends, but there are too few state polls to really have the luxury of picking and choosing polling data the way you can with the national numbers.
